For years, patients in the northern parts of the Metroplex have had to travel to downtown Dallas to see the plastic surgery specialists at UT Southwestern. Even though we have the largest team of cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons in North Texas, it wasn’t easy for patients in Far North Dallas, Plano, Frisco, and outlying areas to make the trek for surgery.

Now the care and expertise you expect from UT Southwestern is available in a much more convenient location. We’re excited to offer the best of plastic surgery expertise, techniques, and individualized care at our new plastic surgery clinic in Frisco.

Jeffrey Kenkel, M.D., Geo Tabbal, M.D., and I offer our patients a wide variety of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to achieve individualized, safe, and effective treatment of a multitude of conditions.

Personalized cosmetic surgery options in Frisco

Breast and body contouring

UT Southwestern has been at the forefront of developing safe, effective techniques for body contouring procedures for many years. Patients in Frisco can get popular procedures to rejuvenate the body, such as:

Breast lift
Tummy tuck
Liposuction
Mommy makeover, a combination of multiple cosmetic procedures

Another popular option is CoolSculpting, a nonsurgical procedure to reduce unwanted fat. It’s easy and painless! Patients relax for 30 to 45 minutes and read a book or watch TV while a painless vacuum device decreases the appearance of fat on the neck, arms, abdomen, or legs.

Breast reconstruction surgery

Multiple breast reconstruction techniques have been developed and perfected by UT Southwestern doctors in the past decade. Some of the advanced procedures we offer in Frisco and Dallas include:

Advanced implant techniques: Our surgeons can insert breast implants above the chest muscle instead of below it, as per older standards. This technique results in less pain, faster recovery, and more attractive outcomes.
Microsurgical (free-flap) breast reconstruction: Skin and fat from another part of the body, such as the tummy, can be used to reconstruct the breast instead of synthetic implants. Procedures such as the DIEP flap and PAP flap can achieve very natural and attractive outcomes with a low risk of complications. We are internationally recognized for innovations in this approach.
One-day breast surgery and reconstruction: For certain patients, mastectomy and breast reconstruction can be completed in a single surgery, resulting in quicker recovery compared to multiple procedures.
